Christmas dinner- All I can say is YUM! Josh's mom is a great cook and makes very creative and delicious meals. For Christmas we had lobster tail, shrimp, steak, salad and tortellini covered in a balsamic vinegar, feta and sun dried tomato sauce. I took a picture of Josh's plate because it was a lot more interesting looking (and larger) than mine ;) :
One of the nights we were in Nashville, Josh's parents invited some of their friends over for dinner. Here is a pic of me, Josh and Josh's Mom prior to dinner. Josh's dad is hard at work in the background.
We also went out to an incredible dinner at a steakhouse in Nashville. Here are a few pics from dinner. Josh's Dad and Josh:
Me and Josh's sister:
The whole fam:

Yay for a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the holiday season is of course the food, but also spending it with my large amazing family! :)
It looks like you had a ton of fun! I LOVE your hair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have! My favorite part of Christmas is playing board games. For some reason, we rarely play them during the year, but always do at Christmas while drinking wine. It's just wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! My homegirl Erica is back! :o) I'm glad you had such a wonderful Christmas - I love all of the pictures! Josh's plate looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the holidays so far has been spending every day with my family and getting caught up on all of the little things that I put by the wayside when I get busy with school!
Great pictures! I can't believe you drove 10 hours. So much for folks not traveling this year! We drove about 3 hours down to Stamford, CT which was an easy drive.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of Christmas for me was a gift my mom got for us. She didn't even know we'd had our eye on this zen alarm clock, but she saw it and knew I'd love it. I do! It was a sort of ESP brainwave thing between mom and me :-)
Welcome back! You were missed...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time! That pic of Josh's plate is awesome! I would kill for a lobster tail!
Yes, serious detox going on over here! ;)
Oh and my favorite part...living the excitement of Christmas through my little ones, there is nothing like it.
